If you use the results of this web form in a paper please remember that you are making use of two data products: EzGal, as well as the model set that you have chosen. These magnitude evolution calcualations are only possible because someone else has gone through effort of generating stellar evolution models. So, I certainly appreciate an acknowledgement or citation for EzGal if you make use of it, but it is most important that you cite the paper which describes the model sets you are using. Here are the appropriate references:

To make the EzGal web interface as convenient as possible I converted a large number of models into the EzGal model format. These models are avaialable for download on this page, that way if you want to run EzGal yourself you have ready-to-use model files. All of these files can be read directly by EzGal. The model file naming convention is described below. To view a complete list of all available model files for download click here. Here are some wget commands you can use to download particular model sets:

**NOTE** Maraston used a different normalization model when generating CSPs (mentioned briefly in the EzGal paper). This results in dramatically different magnitude predictions (for her CSP models) when this normalization difference is not accounted for. This is not a problem for results generated with the web interface, as it uses CSP models which have all been generated using EzGal in the same way. However, the models distributed here were not generated by EzGal but are simply the original models distributed by the authors and converted into the EzGal model format. EzGal cannot account for this difference and as such the relevant model files have been removed. In the next few months (i.e. by the end of 2012) I should have time to update the webstie and only include CSP files generated with EzGal.

Specifies an exponentially decaying burst of star formation with a timescale of 0.5 Gyrs, solar metallicity, a Kroupa IMF, and the models from Conroy, Gunn, and White (2009).
